ok another multiple comment .comment first the drone video as always awesome the bunching wow maybe somday I will get to log a unit like that but have issue with prossesing fisrt he didn't block road second all his ends are even third even the chip pile looks nice and forth no waste used every bit of tree nice job setting loader up for success hope the operater sees this comment we need more processor guys like you stay safe get logs

Que hermoso trabajo aún no trabajé en un feller de oruga pero ya se va a presentar la ocacion ja ja ja

[@brournemouth]

The machinery is great, and the Cat's computer records volume per log length as it processes each piece, and 'radios' it to the mill inventory. And men are out of work, often for good. I watched a simmilar feller/processor show on Vancouver Island and the guy who showed me around said "There are eight men in town with no jobs now. True, the company makes more profit, but SOMEONE will be paying for those unemployed men who were making good coin, and for their families; and in the end, the company will be paying some of that cost, indirectly." Worth thinking about.

[@chickenknucklez2604]

Those 8 men probably brought a lot of headaches with them and for the company also. That machine don't care

[@joepesci8930]

Beautiful footage. You guys generally try and avoid hiring fallers to cut any of the oversize?

[@BlueLineLandWorks]

I believe Chilton uses several fallers but usually on steep ground. The safety risks and Labor and Industries rates make it very difficult to use hand fallers.

[@joepesci8930]

Blue Line Land Works thanks for the response. I run a side on eastern side of the state. For whatever reasons in my area the forestry dept has us bring in handfallers for oversize and we are banned from double cutting oversized with feller bunchers. There was a previous incident that caused the ban, but seems like everywhere else it's ok to do still lol Take care.

[@BlueLineLandWorks]

Joe Pesci i believe this was a private job so that may be the difference.

[@Nates707]

I notice you flip the saw upside down when lifting your under carriage to turn. Can the bottom of the saw not take that pressure?

[@BlueLineLandWorks]

The saw is constantly spinning so you wouldn't want to run it into the dirt and you could probably bend it it.

[@Nates707]

Blue Line Land Works ok that makes since. Thanks for the info👍🏽

[@Stormdodger]

That’s good way to bend the horns.

[@justinvoisine8750]

The bottom of the saw has ski’s on it, no problem using bottom of head to turn. The head manufacturers do not recommend using the horns to lift machine to assist turning, good way to bend the horns and its highly inefficient, wasting fuel doing motions for nothing.

Sorry this is not the right way to cut nice big trees.I am a pro in this kind a wood.Just say- - you just tilt the head a bit and let go the tree that it and you on your way to cut the next one,,,,and double cut it only 1 cut on each side it little bit faster and easy on the head and the operator...have fun from bc canada

[@BlueLineLandWorks]

I have seen guys that operate the way you describe and it typically grenades the tops out of the trees and causes quite a bit of breakage.

that buncher operator was painful to watch....open the frigging arms when the tree starts to go in the right direction!!! Very very hard on the machine holding onto those big trees.

[@TheFus2]

Why not bring a cut to length harvester and a Forwarder in there. Can´t understand americans and their bunchers/skidders/processers. Seems stupid to skid all the limbs and tops to the deck and accumulate the organic matter there or have to transport it back out with the skidder.

[@BlueLineLandWorks]

Wayne Doe we burn the organic matter and most forwarders i have seen are not designed for 40 foot logs. Also most of the timber we have seems to be much larger than what the cut to length machines are handling.

[@BlueLineLandWorks]

Thats my best guess anyways.

[@TheFus2]

Ok thank you for your answer. I didn`t realize you are cutting 40 foot logs and such big timber. But I saw it in your video after I commented. There are cut to length machines out there that can cut timber like that and suitable forwarders for this application, but in this case buncher + skidder + processor seem like the most suitable machines.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

The waste is easiest to deal with piling and burn it. Nowdays it is concentrated along side the road a log length from the processor working. I piled the slash in pyramids or really high lines. As soon as they left the block I would light the piles in mid to late winter.
